History & Context

The largest unfinished Catholic church in the world La Sagrada Familia is a famous basilica located in Barcelona, Spain. The construction of the basilica began in 1882 and it is still ongoing to this day. The idea for the church was conceived by a local bookseller named Josep Maria Bocabella, who was inspired by the historic cathedrals he had seen during a trip to Rome. The original architect of the church was Francisco de Paula del Villar, but he resigned from the project shortly after its inception. In 1883, Antoni Gaudi, a young architect, took over the project and devoted the rest of his life to its completion. Gaudi redesigned the original plans and turned the church into a masterpiece of modernist architecture.
